I don't buy it. If the bar knocking balls out of the goal was meant to be part of the 'fun', that characteristic of gameplay should be present in the low-cost field parts.
I understand the frustration (and agree it sucks) but a round metal bar that long and that high off the ground plus required support would run up costs for teams on the low-cost version, correct?
